I spotted an african grey flying over the apartment buildings where my friend lives yesterday afternoon.. I could not get the band numbers,etc but it was def an african grey (grey body,red tail,etc) this bird was seen flying over the buildings in levittown around 4:30pm yesterday..

Have you reported this bird to 911parrotalert?

Oh dear! Could you put a cage and food out for him? Some owner must be frantic! Good luck!

That's a good idea. I sure hope someone can safely contain him. Cassie just take it easy with the tree climbing!

Arty- I have not reporte it to parrot 911..I did however call my local bird stores and let them know..

lol karen !! If I could reach this birdie by climbing a roof I would but he was high up in the sky with the wild birds and just kept flying : (

A small cage inside another larger cage, the bait, another Grey placed in the smaller cage, leave the door open on the larger cage and tie a string to the door and sit back and wait...
This will work if there is a exotic hanging around, or is the best way to catch the little one.
You really should report this to 911parrotalert, chances are the person that has lost the bird has also contacted 911parrotalert.
Knowing how it feels to loose a family member, I know for a fact any report of seeing a lost one provides much needed HOPE.
This old man climbed a tree, a very tall wet slimy tree, I couldn't make it all the way up to where our African Grey was perched, but close enough to make him fly, then the little creep just flew to another tree, a smaller tree, less slimy...
I almost reached out to grab him and away he went again, this time he went down to the ground, and Rose Ann was right there to get him.
We were very fortunate.
It might be the best thing to do by contacting 911parrotalert.

Arty, thank you for the advice...I did contact parrot 911...and posted on my local craigs list and the animal control officer for my area just e-mailed me asking me to contact her if I see the bird again...Hmmm Looks like me and my 3 african greys are going to have to go outside for awhile lol...I think I'll just take one of them so I dont end up losing a bird :/....My best bet will be to take my grey with half wings..

Well the bird is staying in the area..I saw him fly over the apartment building again about 10 mins ago..it is now 7:52 pm

<fingers crossed here> I'm hoping Arty's suggestion of a cage and food outside will help you get him!
